Task 1 - Free writing + Google Docs
Why are we doing this?
This exercise is to give you practice using Google Docs. We will be using this on-line program to facilitate our theme revision process. It is very much like Microsoft Word and is available anywhere you have access to the internet, eliminating the need for paper, emails or flash drives. Eventually, your theme drafts will be submitted and revisions and comments will be made through Google Docs. Today you will practice using ‘tools’ we will need later.
Directions for Task 1
• Free write a paragraph of your choice. It can be about anything: what’s on your mind, your opinion on a current event or school policy, a description of your pet or favorite song. The topic is completely up to you. It should be about 6 lines.
• Change the text to include three different colors.
• INSERT 3 ‘comments’ in 3 different colors.
• Save it, share it with cpronko@wsdweb.org and one other classmate.
Task 2 – Wiki posts
Why are we doing this?
This exercise is to give you practice using discussion boards for academic classes. From Virtual High School Students, to MBA candidates at Wharton Business School, Students, this type of format is very widely used in academic institutions today. You should be proficient at using this system. Proficiency includes using the appropirate style and tone for school.
In addition, it will give you an opportunity to express your opinion about TFA.
